Reno & Tahoe For A Week

I had a convention in Tahoe at the Hyatt. We got there a few days early to spend sometime with some friends we have not seen in a long time (to long). We went to the air races and meet up with my good friend Dodd who I've known since the 4th grade and his wife Heather and their daughter Lula. We stayed with our friends Eric and Jackie's in Reno for a few nights. Grady and Ken made the drive over from the Bay and we did some mountain biking around Donner Pass. Rebecca made the trip over from Redding and stayed one night with use in Incline Village. I forgot my camera in Jackie's car so I don't have to many photos of the trip. It was a great trip and I cannot believe it worked out to see so many friends.

This Is Not Good

If you have been asking yourself “why is our government not doing something about our immigration problem”? I think I have the answer. I have been keeping my eyes and ears open on this massive project our government has been working on since last year. This is extremely scary to me. The articles do a good job of explaining it. I have attached a few links. I would highly recommend you keep up with this project.

Paige Loved Her Cake!

Paige's Big Birthday Party!

We decided Paige needed to have a B-Day party. We invited some neighborhood friends and family for a small gathering to celebrate Paige’s 1st birthday. What a blast! We had the perfect amount of people and it was a beautiful day for an outdoor party. Great people, good food, and Paige put on a great show. What more could you ask for. Enjoy the photos.

Paige's First B-Day!!!!

We had so much fun with Paige at Chucky Cheese. She was really into Chucky and the little kid rides.

Yea....Nice Name!!!!

I will have to admit….I thought there was only one Gaylord out there. Meet the Parents part two….like a good neighbor…State Fram is there!

Airboat Madness

Ok motor heads here it is. When I was a young boy running around on the Platte River we had airboats. Airboats when I was growing up were pretty much a means of transportation on the Platte River. Go from point A to point B with maybe an occasional ride if the river was high enough. I spent plenty of hours digging out boats because of sandbars. Boy…things have really come a long ways in the last 20 years.

Now the boats are more on the lines of a recreational vehicle. The horse power they are putting in these things are crazy. Heck…now all you need is about 1inch of water to have a good time. If you run into a sandbar no worries….these thing drive right over land. It is truly an amazing experience. Everyone’s doing it and all depends on how much you want to spend. Most of the boats I saw had 8 to 10 blade carbon fiber propellers. Some even had counter rotating blades. Most of them run a gear reduction system so the blades can spin efficiently and can maximize all the horse power. Engine sizes varied from your standard 350 all the way up to a 502 and 572 motor putting out anywhere from 600 to 700 horses. There’s even a boat running nitrous I was told but he was not out when I was there. Of course my parents have the 502 with god only knows what modifications in the engine. Let’s put it this way…IT WAS FAST AND SOUNDED GREAT!!!! It was like being at Bristol Motor Speedway. Below are a few photos of my parent’s boat, few people, and boats sitting on a sand bar. What a hoot!!!!
